Florida-China Linkage Institute

The Florida China Linkage Institute (FCLI) was created by the Florida Legislature in 1987 as one of the eleven international organizations. A primary purpose is to assist in the development of stronger economic, cultural, educational, and social ties between Florida and China through the promotion of expanded public/private dialogue on cooperative research and technical assistance activities, student and faculty exchanges, cultural exchanges, and the enhancement of language training skills between Florida postsecondary institutions and those of China (Florida Statute 288.8175).
